Last week, I wrote a story on the excellent DJI Mini 4K drone, which hit a brand new record-low price at Amazon. Now, I'm updating my page to say that this superb entry-level model is now even cheaper at just $225 (was $299).
Previously, the drone was sitting at $239, which was the Black Friday price for this particular model. Now, it's an even better value, so if you missed my initial news post last week, then this is another fantastic opportunity to pick up a model that we rank at number one on our best budget drone buyer's guide.
It’s also very beginner-friendly thanks to the DJI Fly app, which offers features like one-tap takeoff and automatic return-to-home. Just keep in mind that this model doesn’t include obstacle avoidance, so it’s worth flying with a bit of extra care - especially on your first few outings.

If you're a beginner drone pilot, you may be wondering how the 2025 ban affects the DJI 4K Mini. Well, the ban is enforced on new drones imported from overseas, so older stock like the 4K Mini is essentially unaffected.
Because of that, you can fly your drone in peace (and responsibly) for the time being. As of writing, there's nothing to suggest that the US government will enforce a full ban on drone flight, so we're still happy to recommend the DJI 4K Mini if you're looking for a powerful, yet compact model.
